It's the Fathers will, of all which he hath given me, I should lose nothing, but raise it up again at the last day; Oh the divine and unspeakable consolations that are here treasured up for the godly, So Joh. 10.29. which you heard before; One place there is that may be a stumbling-block, and seem to weaken all, Joh. 17.12. Those that thou gavest me I have kept, and there is none lost but the Son of Perdition: But the answer is, The Apostles are said to be given to Christ in a twofold respect, 1. Of sanctification and glorification, and thus Judas was not. 2. In respect of their Office and calling, as when he said, Have not I chosen twelve, and one of you is a devil? Joh, 6.10. So that there was a twofold giving of some to Christ. The one of Justification to eternal life, the other of office and service, and that this is meant here is plain, because he is called the Son of perdition, implying the reason why though he was given to him, yet he was not saved because he was never so given, but he remained a Son of perdition still: Thus it is answered by some, but the full discussion of it will be when we come to that verse. Let us explain the doctrine.
